I don't like Sony, nor do I like their Ericsson brand of phones, but this is sex in a stick.

God, I'm praying for a decent price and a good enough battery life. (although my current phone has a pretty shitty battery life... as long as it lasts 2 (with heavy use) days it's enough for me)

 

The best bit is that it supports 3.5G.

 

And here's a video which gives a vague look at what the UI is like:

 

And here's the official website with pretty pictures:

The N80 ain't as good as this thing, as far as I can tell. My N95 with Rotate me plugin does something like this, but no way as sleak. But they keypad on the Xperia = awesome.

I don't need a media player, i've got the iPod Touch for that :)

 

All i need in a phone is some good internet features for when im not in a WiFi hotspot. Basically VOIP, Email, IM and a good Web Browser and i'll be happy! 3.5G + Windows Mobile = Win!

This phone is teh sex! Just upgraded to it from an E90.

 

First thing that struck me is how small it is! Compared to the E90 it's tiny! Given it has pretty much the same features list that's really quite impressive! Build quality is really good and the phone looks really posh with loads of brushed aluminium all over the place.

 

Windows mobile is suprisingly OK. I was concerned and it definitely needs work, but i'm not hating it yet and know it'll improve once i've updated and made some tweaks. The UI is very slick :)

 

Got a really good deal, free phone, £40/month for 18-months and £90 cashback (effectively making it £35/month). For that i'm getting 600 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data and unlimited downloads from Vodafone Musicstation :D

 

I have one major problem at the moment though, the tit at Phones4U put a PAYG sim in the phone. A PAYG sim with no credit...

In stark contrast to my earlier comments the phone is going back. It's taken since Tuesday for me to get connected to Vodafone because of various screw-ups, then i had to configure the internet myself (none of CS's suggestions worked) using the bare minumum info (settings, but no instructions as to where to put them). I finally get online and... Musicstation isn't compatable with my handset. I was sold it on the basis that it was, Musicstation was supposed to take some of the pain out of doubling my monthly bill.

 

Oh, and there's lovely backlight bleed in the top right corner. Really bad back light bleed.

 

I still like the phone and i might pick it up again if i can get it sub-£30/month. Maybe T-Mobile will give me a cheap upgrade, they're due the handset in January! :yay:
